The fennec fox is the smallest species of fox, but they've got a big ear up on the competition. Their ears can be 4-6 inches long which makes it easy for them to hear prey underground and let off excess heat in the desert. See them in the new Wildlife Explorers Basecamp opening March 11. | San Diego Zoo
